I’ve been writing this blog for exactly one month, so I thought it would be fun to have a quick look back. I started this with the intention of sharing positive stories about the environment, ways to live a “greener” life, be healthier, and appreciate nature. I did it because I love learning new things, and to learn something good every day has been so refreshing for me. I expected to post once a week, but I’ve been posting every day! That’s a lot of good news.
My Favorites
- Painted Black – I love Blackle. I’m convinced it’s easier on the eyes too.
- Solar Powered Indians – anything solar is fantastic!
- Great Lakes Biodiesel – this company really sets an example
- Dammed if you do – good story
- Rain Barrels – I just love it
Things I’ve Learned
- Lavender oil is great, but lavender mixed with eucalyptus may be better because bees aren’t attracted to eucalyptus (we haven’t been stung, but I notice bees around the Lavender plant a lot)
- Green Clean for Drains
- Turn a Garbage Strike into something good
- How to get rid of Japanese Beetles
- That’s certainly not all I’ve learned, but it’s a start

I got the eucalyptus oil advice from Mike D.
I haven’t read anything practical for dog waste. You can’t even compost it. The only thing you can do is be sure your bags are biodegradable. Don’t use scented ones – that’s a waste of $$. I’ll keep looking.
Love your blog! More vegan recipes would be nice.
Terra, Great posting so far. I love learning more about energy saving tips and the lavender is good. I didn’t know about the eucalyptus but I will for sure use that one. I got the lavender for our camp trip and mixed the potion us today. I will be taking it on the Hood to Coast run I am driving for next weekend. Should keep the van smelling a little more peaceful. Do you have any information on getting rid of dog waste? I just feel so bad all the time when I put it in plastic bags for the dump, I know it’s going to sit there for 10,000 years.Keep up the good work.

Don’t know what to do with cat waste. I’ve read you aren’t supposed to flush it into human waste water systems.
Here’s another web site’s view on the matter:

Thanks! I may do a post on that. I remember seeing the Doggie Dooley a while back. I like the garbage can thing better.
